@pranavsapra: That awkward moment when Don gets caught before Dawn by the US Security. 😐 #SRK

@vikrantkumar: Opportunity missed by Shah Rukh Khan. he could have just shown Ra.One to US Custom. that would have ensured, he is never detained in future.

@fakingnews: SRK was carrying undisclosed amount of heroines with himself.

@thetanmay: At least SRK learnt that the scene in Ra One where the airport security guard licks his lips at the mere sight of him was not realistic.

@avilporwal: Shah Rukh Khan detained for two hours at a New York airport, bcoz he had made them watch ra.one in last year october.. revenge completed

@LoKarloFollow: Shah Rukh Khan detained at New York airport ’cause he was trying to perform Chaiyya Chiaiyya’s sequel on the aircraft this time.

@YearOfRat: The worst part of Shah Rukh Khan being stopped at an airport is dreading the news debates with Suhel Seth, Arnab & a token surdy/minority.

@fakingnews: Shah Rukh Khan was questioned for 2 hours about the logic behind the new dress of KKR cheerleaders. #IPL #SRK

@ShodhanNV: Right time for Karan Johar to make My name is Khan-2 with #SRKShah Rukh Khan

@puneettandon: Shah Rukh Khan gets detained on airports more often than he delivers a hit movie #SRK

@HumourMinister: Shah Rukh Khan was continuously and repeatedly muttering at NYC airport: "My name is khan and I’m not a terrorist, terrorist TERRORIST."

@Matsharma: Shah Rukh Khan didnt consulted Nirmal Baba before travelling abroad, thats why he got detained :

@YearOfRat: "Man, detention at the airport was so grueling but luckily I got ShahRukh Khan’s autograph. All good now." ~ the other unimportant Indians

@medhashri: There must be a reason or why else would #ImSickOf and ShahRukh Khan #SRK trend together?

@pranavsapra: Interesting! #SRK sends his son to school and earns himself a detention?

@sajid33_kk: I tot Srk is going to yale..not jail !!!

@TheUnRealTimes: US officials let SRK go only after he threatened them that he’ll remake Avengers as a sequel to Ra.One

@PuttanPal: #NEWS: Shah Rukh Khan detained for 2 hours at NY airport! Puttan: Don bhai aakhir pakde gaye naa! #SRK

@RKKrishnan: #US Immigration really REALLY does not know who Shah RukhKhan is? And who Kamal Hasan is? #Theyshouldgohome

@sumantroy04: That awkward moment when #SRK says ‘DON ko pakadna mushkil hi nhi namumkin hai’ and gets caught at New York airport. #Shah RukhKhan

@pranavsapra: "SRK : Hey officer, why am I being detained? US Security: My wife was your fan and Ra.One was detention for me (sic)".
